MacArthur Stony Brook University  \nElyse L. Aurbach University of Michigan  \nLaura A. Lindenfeld Stony Brook University  \nBronwyn Bevan University of Washington  \nTodd P. Newman University of Wisconsin-Madison  \nScience communication that fosters shared understanding, co-creation of meaning, and prompts large-scale change, is far from a one-way transmission of information. Rather, it is a multifaceted system that integrates different forms of knowledge and ways of knowing, attends to the complexity of social and environmental challenges, and conveys strong verbal and nonverbal skills (Brown et al., 2010) . In 2019, Brooke Smith compared science communication to the Washington D.C. Metro transit system. Considering the efficiency of the Metro to move people where they need to go, Smith reflects on what it would take to put in place a highly functioning infrastructure to help scientists who want to communicate and engage effectively get where they need to be (Smith, 2019) . Communication centers that offer science communication training opportunities are uniquely positioned to empower scientists to navigate this complex system. Training opportunities could include courses, workshops, seminars, and/or opportunities for scientists to practice their communication skills. The goal is to prepare scientists to interact with different publicsand share scientific information clearly and efficiently. The scientists who enroll in these training opportunities seek to improve how science informs decision-making processes at the individual, organizational, and  \ncommunity levels. But prompting such change requires more than just the mastery of foundational communication skills. Scientists must also learn how to engage with these publics, something they can only do once they recognize the complete social and cultural systems wherein communication occurs. Communication centers that address science communication training in this way, mediate between knowledge and action across social domains, and challenge the boundary between science and society (McGreavy et al., 2013) . In this paper, we argue that effective science communication requires engagement rather than traditional knowledge transfer, and we highlight the relevance of social considerations to accomplish effective engagement. We offer primary pathways for engagement that are key to spanning the boundary between science and society, and specify concrete suggestions for communication centers to implement these pathways. We conclude by discussing examples wherein social factors played a role in successful engagement.  \nScience Communication and Engagement  \nEngagement involves a process of paying attention, caring about, and participating intellectually, emotionally, and/or physically with a set of ideas, practices, people, and/or questions  \nCommunication Center Journal Vol. 6 , No. 1 , 2020  \n(Fredricks et al., 2016; Linnenbrink-Garcia et al., 2011) . Successful engagement depends on effective communication. Often, people reduce communication to a one-way process of conveying information and contrast it against the term engagement, which winds up being defined as a two-way exchange. In this paper, we move deliberately toward a different understanding of these terms that views them as mutually interdependent parts of the same process. Rather than viewing communication simply as the transactional exchange of information, we see communication as constitutive. By this, we mean that communication itself shapes our sense of the world rather than simply reflecting some fundamental, objective reality that can be accessed directly through language. From this vantage point, communication is not a thing we convey (i.e. information to be transmitted), but rather a process that forms our experiences of and relationships with each other and the material world in which we ","cbCaimrLRRI4e5dE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimrLRRI4e5dE","pdf",246243,17,"English","# Bridging Science with Society: Defining Pathways for Engagement\n## Science Communication and Engagement\n## Working Across Social and Cultural Boundaries","[{\"question\":\"What does the article argue is essential for effective science communication?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that effective science communication requires engagement rather than traditional one-way knowledge transfer.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article define engagement?\",\"answer\":\"Engagement is described as a process of paying attention, caring about, and participating intellectually, emotionally, and/or physically with ideas, practices, people, and questions.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do the authors emphasize training communication centers for scientists?\",\"answer\":\"Because centers that provide training opportunities can empower scientists to navigate complex social systems and learn to engage with different publics, improving science-society relationships.\"}]","Communication Center Journal - Vol. 6 - No. 1 - 2020 | PDF",1792088378,43]
